Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 medium apples
  • 1 package vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour and 2 tsp baking powder. In another bowl, cream 0.5 cup softened butter with 0.75 cup sugar until light, then beat in 2 eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined. Peel, core, and slice 2 apples thinly, then fold half into the batter.

  4. 4

    Pour batter into the pan, arrange remaining apple slices on top. Bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.

  5. 5

    While cake bakes, whisk 1 package vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Chill until serving.

  6. 6

    Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature with a generous dollop of vanilla cream.
